The pure stone tops, granite and marble, are calcium carbonate which
is attacked by acidic foods - granite less so than softer marble.


Now that is what is utter nonsense--granite is, well, "granite" and has
virtually nothing in common chemically (nor geologically as per
formation processes) w/ marble...

Granite is an igneous formation whereas marble is a recrystallized
limestone which is sedimentary.
